NFL chief information officer Michelle McKenna-Doyle, an Auburn alumnus, is interested in the athletic director position at her alma mater.

"I have an incredible career at the NFL and have great opportunity to grow my career there; but if the place the built me calls; I am humbled, honored, and would of course be interested in hearing their thoughts," McKenna-Doyle told AL.com. "Auburn is a special place to so many, and it is my family. So you always take a call from family."

An Enterprise native, McKenna-Doyle has served as a senior vice president and chief information officer of the NFL since Sept. 2012. Prior to her time with the NFL, she worked with Constellation Energy, The Walt Disney Co., MetLife and Coopers & Lybrand.

Earlier this week, Auburn announced a six-person advisory committee and Parker Executive Search would be involved in conducting the search for and reviewing candidates for its next athletic director. The committee will make its recommendation to Auburn president Steven Leath, who has indicated a hire could be by mid-January, if not sooner.
